Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen. (lemmy.world)

    Games like Valheim and Rust are not some pixel art games which will run on a 2GB system with an integrated GPU, they're pretty much AA games with an AA level publisher behind them. Yes, there are some real exceptions, like Stardew Valley, but you can count them on your fingers. They don't make even a 1% of Steam catalogue. Thus my point still stands - no one cares about low end games.

    Even if they don't make up 1% of Steam's catalogue (though I doubt that figure), they have had real impact.

    It's ok to not like them personally, but to say no one cares is disingenuous. Balatro doesn't require much in terms of hardware but is having a real moment right now. Stardew Valley has been killing it for 8 years. People have thousands of hours in Rimworld.

    Indie games are also great for community and modders.

    Sorry, but no.
